Example: At each site, measure the number of proposals reviewed for SE compliance at Gate C as a percentage of the total number of Gate C proposals reviewed by the site. - “Implementation Level” Metric: When the SE Process Monitoring Activity was conducted, what was the level of execution implementation? Example: For each proposal reviewed, evaluate the level of coverage of SE process execution. The Metrics:
